The vaccines that a small group of very vocal people are screaming about have been found to be safe and effective, that said, these vaccines were fast tracked during the Trump administration who instead of touting the fact that they worked diligently with the manufacturers and the respective government agencies to bring a safe and effective vaccine to fruition in a short period of time decided instead of taking full credit for their efforts, whether or not deserved made them out to be a bad thing.

Touting the vaccine by the Trump administration should have been a slam dunk, why they didn't capitalize on it and instead side with the small highly vocal minority we may never know.

Ok back to our regularly scheduled BS

I wonder if batteries are just a stop gap measure until hydrogen fuel cells become a realistic option.

Yes you have to deliver hydrogen to "gas stations" but the gasoline delivery vehicles can be converted to hydrogen delivery vehicles, or generate hydrogen onsite. The waste output from a hydrogen fuel cell is water.

You can then use essentially the same vehicle that is being powered today by batteries but power it with fuel cells.

Of course people have to get the image of the Hindenburg out of their minds, but I can't imagine it is much worse CNG

Although it might sound easy to simply say "fix the radar altimeters by simply inserting a filter" or something like that. The problem is with transport category aircraft where I believe most of the problem arises, nothing, I mean NOTHING gets installed into an aircraft that isn't inspected 10x over, after going through the engineering specifications, testing, blah blah blah. This testing and certification has to not only be for the instrument but for the airframe too.

The cost of certification for the fix can be millions of dollars and months or years to procure plus tens of thousands of dollars per airframe along with downtime etc.

We had the same issue, disconnected it connection from CenturyLink but they continued to advertise our routes, my traffic was reaching remote locations but the return traffic was just disappearing.

Trump invoked the war powers act of 1950, this gives him broad power to require companies to produce certain products, and control the supply chain for the materials required to make those products. I believe the act also allows him to force companies to provide product plans/manufacturing data to build said products.

Only one problem, Trump only invoked the act he hasn't compelled any company to produce any products, in today's press briefing I believe he said something like "Companies are producing products voluntarily and I'm going to let the market figure out where everything goes"

My friend got one from me that had been referencing president's day so that would have been right around Valentine's day.

The corporations that are "silencing people" are owned by corporations that have a wide latitude as to what they can allow or disallow on their platform. Free speech says that if you don't like what somebody has to say you are allow to get on your own soapbox and say it. I'm just saying that you aren't allowed to use "my soapbox" to stand on.

Oh regardless of whether or not you like trump, for better or worse we have him as our president until either he loses an election, can't run any longer (completed 2 terms) or gets removed from office.

One thing I will say is looking back at all the presidents that I remember (I can remember back to Carter) I can't remember any president with so much controversy surrounding him, yes presidents are not liked for one reason or another, a policy is disliked etc but wow the controversy surrounding Trump in itself is scary.

did you miss this section of the article?

"Brazil had been the source of about 95 percent of all asbestos used in America, according to the E.P.A., but last year that country banned its manufacture and sale. Since then, Russia has stepped in as a supplier."

The article then goes on about Uralasbest and how they are happy about the move and praising Trump.

Maybe there isn't anything really there and simply just another coincidence that Russia just happens to be the largest producer of mined asbestos remaining.

or is it????

I think my employer has figured out how to stretch a 24 hr day into 30 hrs on a regular basis

My company does similar. When we insert a USB thumb drive the system will prompt you to encrypt the drive, the encryption locks it to your machine only. If you say "Don't encrypt" then you are limited to Read only on the device, this is so we can download data from a client.

At least our company has a procedure for obtaining an exception to the encrypted usb drive rule if you can justify it.

What a way to build company moral, threaten to have people thrown in jail.

Then why did NIST come out in their 2017 recommendations to no longer force arbitrary password changes when there is no evidence of a password compromise? Because 1) users start to write passwords down, 2) users use a password that is very similar

Its gotten to the point that I have so many different passwords with so many different requirements with different expiration dates that I have no choice to write them down someplace, piece of paper, file, whatever

When companies force you to change your password every 60 or 90 days "just because" and require the new password to be substantially different than their previous password people start writing them down.

I never understood the thought behind forcing a password change because you've had your password for X days.

Trump is rejecting not because of what the Paris Climate deal is, he's rejecting it because it was his predecessor's doing.
